Diary of an Ending

In Diary of an Ending, internationally renowned photographer Lina Scheynius expands her artistic vision to prose, offering an unflinching and intimate exploration of heartbreak and self-recovery. Blurring the boundaries between diary and essay, Diary of an Ending explores the break-up of a relationship, combining extracts from Scheyniuss diary written in Swedish and translated by Saskia Vogel with reflective essays written in English five years on, exploring ideas about art and photography, the act of diary-making, psychological abuse, motherhood, and the importance of home and belonging. Interspersed with black-and-white photographs, and written with the same unashamed and unfiltered honesty that defines Scheyniuss photography, Diary of an Ending is an intimate hybrid of memoir and autofiction, a meditation on the passage of time and the transformative power of creativity.
